Wow.

Netrebko's severe lack of breath control contributes largely to her absolute lack of vocal talent. It's amazing that anyone allows this woman to sing anything. If you want to hear a real coloratura soprano, find a recording of Edita Grubernova.

Vibrato is aging.

I am sorry but am I the only one who can hear the lack of breath control which then translates into a horrific vibrato that is making her sound 20 years older? What happened? Her tone is lovely but if she does not get her technique back on track she will be done for in 5 years and follow in the steps of Cheryl Studer.

I seriously doubt the longevity of her voice, and the mic placement seems TOO close. There's some definite wobble to her voice, and not only in high registers.
